Despite reports to the contrary, Liverpool are not interested in signing Barcelona winger Adama Traore.

Reports in Spain suggested that 19-year-old Traore would soon be flying into England for a medical at Liverpool. 

However, the Liverpool Echo claims that such reports are wide of the mark. Instead, Brendan Rodgers is not interested in signing Traore, presumably believing he has enough options already in that area.

Traore could well still be coming to the Premier League, however. The Daily Mail claims that Aston Villa have entered into the race, because Tim Sherwood suddenly wants every player he can get his hands on. Stoke and Everton are also interested.

Traore has represented Spain at U16, U17 and U19 levels, making his Barcelona debut aged just 17 in 2013.

Jordon Ibe: Keen to establish himself in Liverpool's first team

Jordon Ibe: Keen to establish himself in Liverpool's first team

"Self-critical" Liverpool winger Jordon Ibe says he must be looking to contribute a goal or assist in every game he plays for the Reds.

The 19-year-old has enjoyed a productive pre-season with Liverpool as he looks to establish himself in Brendan Rodgers' first-team plans. With Lazar Markovic, Adam Lallana and Roberto Firmino all competing in similar positions, Ibe is aware that he must be at his best to merit regular football.

"I'm not completely satisfied because I need to keep working on a few things, like my end product - getting the ball and finding someone in the box and trying to add a few more goals to my game," Ibe told Liverpool's official site. 

"I'm quite self-critical. I like to think about things after a game - things I could have improved on, like maybe having taken a shot on or something.

"I know I'm at a young age, but in my position I need to have an end product. If I'm not getting a goal in a game, then I need to be trying to get an assist for one of my teammates or making sure I have a great game."

Ibe was also pleased to hear Rodgers say that he will be "featuring heavily" this season.

"If the gaffer is thinking I'm doing well, then it will mean I must be doing well at something," Ibe said.

"But it doesn't stop for me. The season is coming up and I need to keep improving and keep the manager satisfied with my performances so I can get a chance to play regularly in the Premier League."

Ibe started seven Premier League matches last season, but is yet to register a first-team goal for the club.

Ian Ayre says the redevelopment of Anfield will allow Liverpool to "compete financially" with their major rivals at home and in Europe.

When complete, the renovated stadium will house close to 60,000 spectators and is on course to be ready for the start of the 2016/17 season.

Speaking to 92Live on Sky Sports News HQ the Liverpool chief executive said: “The stadium is vital to the health of the club and we want to compete at the highest level.

“And if you look at revenue at clubs, match day revenues are important, as well as the mix of commercial and media.

“If you look at Arsenal as an example, after building the Emirates, they generate around 40% of revenue on match day and we generate 20%.

“So this new stadium will get us back to that sort of level because we need to be on an equal level with our competitors.”

There had been speculation that Liverpool may have to leave Anfield and build a new stadium on another site, but Ayre says they are delighted to remain at a venue that has been their home since 1892.

“Since the new ownership group (Fenway Sports) came in, we took the decision to work hard to find the right solution," he said.

“It’s about finding something in keeping with this great stadium, keeps us at our spiritual home and delivers the sort of capacity which the fans and club deserve.

“It’s not just about the stadium. It’s also the regeneration of the whole area, the council, the housing group – a not-for-profit housing group in the area.

“And it was important to get a stadium design in keeping with the existing Anfield. As well as having excellent modern facilities, it will look like it’s always been part of this fantastic stadium.

“Staying here was so important. But also finding the right economic solution for the long term interest of the club and this does that.

“It gets us towards the capacity we want, and at a better cost than building a new stadium.”

Gareth Bale and Pepe: Linked with United moves

Gareth Bale and Pepe: Linked with United moves

Man United remain keen on Gareth Bale and now want his team-mate Pepe, while Liverpool are close to Asier Illarramend, say Tuesday's papers.

UNITED TURN ATTENTIONS TO PEPE

Man United are reportedly set to turn their attentions to Real Madrid's Pepe after so far failing to sign a centre-half this summer.

With interest in Sergio Ramos and John Stones so far failing to yield positive results, the Daily Mirror claims United are to turn their attentions to Ramos' Bernabeu team-mate, Pepe.

The Portuguese defender appears to be third choice at the club having fallen behind Ramos and Raphael Varane under new boss Rafa Benitez.

That may tempt Real Madrid to move Pepe on before the end of the window and he is now being offered round potential interested clubs.

...AND STILL RETAIN BALE INTEREST

The Sun claims Man United have made two bids of £100million this summer to Real Madrid for Gareth Bale.

With Rafa Benitez insisting he expects to keep both Bale and his Real team-mate Karim Benzema, that has apparently still not dissuaded United, who are set to use the money banked from Angel Di Maria's sale to help fund a bid for Bale.

The Welshman joined Real from Tottenham two summers ago for a world-record fee, and even though United would have to top that to bring him back to the Premier League, it seems Real - if Benitez's comments are anything to go by - are determined to keep their man.

LIVERPOOL SET TO LAND ILLARREMENDI

Asier Illarramendi is set to move to Liverpool after the Anfield club reportedly came up with an improved offer of £14.2million.

The Daily Express reports that the bid is line with what Real are hoping to receive for the defensive midfielder, and a deal should be completed this week.

Illarramendi arrived at the Bernebeu two years ago, but has failed to establish himself as a regular starter and completed the 90 minutes in La Liga just seven times last season.

Should the Spaniard sign for Liverpool, he will be the club's ninth arrival of the summer, as Brendan Rodgers desperately tries to re-establish his team after a disappointing 2014-15 campaign.

Christian Benteke: Will wear the iconic No 9 shirt this season

Christian Benteke: Will wear the iconic No 9 shirt this season

Liverpool have confirmed that striker Christian Benteke has been handed the club's iconic No 9 shirt ahead of the new season.

Belgium international Benteke made the move to Anfield from Aston Villa for £32.5million and made an immediate impact on his first appearance at the weekend, scoring a superb volley in the 2-1 win over Swindon at the County Ground.

The 24-year-old will now be given the same shirt number previously worn by the likes of Ian Rush, Robbie Fowler, Ian St John and Fernando Torres.

"Confirmed: @bentekechris20 is #LFC's new No.9," read the post from Liverpool's official Twitter account.

The No 9 shirt became available following the departure of Rickie Lambert, who joined West Brom in a £3million deal on Friday.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has brought in seven new players this summer as he attempts to guide the club back into the Champions League following their sixth-place finish last season.

The striker will be hoping to make his Liverpool debut in Sunday's clash with Stoke, despite doubts being expressed
